"Energy transition” can mean different things to different people—and the oil and gas industry wants it to include fossil fuels
In this chapter Epstein relates his view that mainstream media sources, or what he calls the "knowledge system" and "designated" experts have an issue with focusing too much on those "experts" that will cast dire and exaggerated predictions about things such as the climate, environment, fossil fuel stockpiles and known reserves et al. Epstein argues that if you are a scientist that does not ...
‘The recent progress of renewables means that fossil fuel-dominated projections are no longer realistic,’ says researcher Solar energy set to eclipse fossil fuels as world passes ‘tipping ...
The mixture of experts, being similar to the gaussian mixture model, can also be trained by the expectation-maximization algorithm, just like gaussian mixture models. Specifically, during the expectation step, the "burden" for explaining each data point is assigned over the experts, and during the maximization step, the experts are trained to ...
Alexander Joseph Epstein (/ ˈ ɛ p s t aɪ n /) is an American author who advocates for the expansion of fossil fuels and opposes the scientific consensus on climate change. [1] [2] Epstein is the author of The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels (2014) and Fossil Future (2022), in which he argues for the expanded use of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas.
Much of the world's energy comes from non-renewable energy sources. These inventions are innovating our energy consumption and paving a greener path. 16 inventions getting us off fossil fuels and ...
While crude oil and natural gas are also being phased out in chemical processes (e.g. production of new building blocks for plastics) as the circular economy and biobased economy (e.g. bioplastics) are being developed [17] to reduce plastic pollution, the fossil fuel phase out specifically aims to end the burning of fossil fuels and the consequent production of greenhouse gases.
An energy transition is a broad shift in technologies and behaviours that are needed to replace one source of energy with another. [14]: 202–203 A prime example is the change from a pre-industrial system relying on traditional biomass, wind, water and muscle power to an industrial system characterized by pervasive mechanization, steam power and the use of coal.
